Go Places with David Mears – Travelling backwards and sideways around the places we´ve been

Travelling backwards and sideways around the places we´ve been

Secret Kingdoms is delighted to welcome author David Mears to discuss his new book, “the places we´ve been”

“Our heroic notions fizzle like the soap suds of cheap washing-up liquid as we sit in the traffic jam of piled-up human aspirations.”

Or do they?

Inspired by the mighty Camilo José Cela, David sets off on a journey backwards and sideways across Spain, the place he has called home for 25 years, visiting some places he has been and in the meantime lifting the lid on the country normally unseen. “the places we’ve been” can fit snugly into your favourite jacket pocket but punches way above its paperweight in shrewd observation, poetic turn and delicious comic timing.

5/5 on Amazon and Goodreads…. So far (as at 29/5)

“beautifully written with great insights not only to life in Spain, but also to life itself” – from an Amazon review…
